RyanOH:
"I love this place for breakfast. On weekends I often trek north just to enjoy the fresh breakfast with unique and scrumptious menu offerings!"

JJacobs:
"What a fantastic place for dinner. Great service, good music and an eclectic crowd.
The staff is unbelievably cool (mainly Loyola students). I haven't meet one I haven't liked, yet.
This location is much better (more space) than the location in Wrigleyville."

For the organic enthusiast/vegetarian crowd, this well-regarded spot with its funky-yet-casual decor is a real winner.

"This place ROCKS. Not the cakes though. Go to Alice's for Vegan choco cake. Chi Diner has good cookies and EVERYTHING else. I have gone there over 100 times in the last 2 years.
There is only 1 terrible server and he's consistantly bad but always friendly. Everyone else who works there is top notch. This is the first place I take out of town guests. Vegitarian or not."

JJacobs:
"A vegan's favorite... but you don't have to be a vegan or a vegetarian to enjoy this place... they everything... fresh and tasty."

Come for the great mix-and-match combo platters, but stay for the out-of-this-world margaritas.

"The BEST margheritas on the strip. Very strong. Great staff. Good enough atmosphere. The carne asada cannot be beat if you are eating healthy. Other food choices have been very good."

plato712:
"They get the big "F" for service and the food as someone else mentioned is totally made in advance and then put under a heating lamp. I might as well go to PePe's while I'm at it as the food is more authentic.
The waiters are pretentious and visit your table about once as they are too busy gossiping about the patrons...this isn't high school...."
